Chapter 2430 The Gui scroll is fixed and started
Sun Chengzong readily supported Feng Ziying's opinion and attacked the Tang family first, capturing the main figures in the Tang family in one fell swoop and preventing the Tang family from absconding and transferring assets.
But when it comes to the specific strategy of arrest, Sun Chengzong is not familiar with the situation. He is not good at this aspect, but he is quite free and easy. He strongly supports Feng Ziying to fully represent the Ministry of War to coordinate with Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to determine the action plan.
Since the people from the Nanjing Punishment Department are not trustworthy, we will not consider using people from the Nanjing Punishment Department for the time being. After Gu Bingqian and his group are brought south, it will not be too late for people from the Punishment Department to join in.
The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei were summoned to introduce the situation, and the people from Long Jinwei and Du Procuratorate immediately became excited.
Involved in such a broad and influential series of major cases, including interception and robbery at sea, robbery, kidnapping and extortion on land, as well as the identity of "Japanese pirates" and pirates, it is difficult to contact a powerful family here. together, but this is true.
Once this series of cases is solved, the extermination of the Tang family is a matter of course, but the key is to investigate the entire case clearly and all the criminals must be brought to justice. Otherwise, if doubts arise, any big action will be launched. It's difficult.
Shen Yourong sent Hou Chengzu to participate in this operation, which is enough to prove that Denglai Navy took this matter seriously.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is still dominated by people brought from Yang Lian's side.
Sun Dingxiang was also shocked when he learned that Shao Zhixian, the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture, had been forced to leave by colluding with Tan Zongzheng and a censor from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate. He had always thought that the censors who had been carefully screened by him would have no problems. If If there are hidden dangers, it will really pose a huge threat to this series of big tasks in the future.
After careful screening and analysis, senior censor Bao Chengkun was identified.
This guy is from Luoyang, Henan. He was a Jinshi in the 30th year of Yuanxi. He was never very proud of it. Later, he was sent to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate from the Capital Procuratorate.
After Sun Dingxiang took over as the censor of Youdu of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, he still felt that this guy was honest and reliable, and he could rely on him as a confidant. Who would have thought that he turned out to be a big beetle.
After Sun Dingxiang identified Bao Chengkun, he immediately launched a secret investigation, and soon found out that this man pretended to be clean on the surface, but was as frugal as usual in his own house, with only one wife and one concubine. In fact, he had a mansion in Nanjing. The three properties are all in prosperous areas of Nanjing, with market prices exceeding RMB 80,000.
This guy rented two other mansions and kept two outhouses. One of them should be a Yangzhou thin horse that Tan Zongzheng bought from Yangzhou as a gift to him. He was regarded as a forbidden favorite by this guy and was extremely pampered. The furniture and furnishings are very luxurious and extravagant, and the expenses are not small. Just the servants and maids have invited more than ten people. Compared with the simplicity at home, it is like a world of difference.
Because of this precedent, Sun Ding was a little worried about the censors under his command. His chest was beating loudly before, but now he would rather be more cautious, fearing that the four censors he had inspected again would be sent over.
The nautical charts have already been hung up.
There were only Feng Ziying, Yang Lian, Sun Dingxiang, Zhao Wenzhao, Hou Chengzu and a young general brought by Hou Chengzu in the house.
Everyone’s eyes fell on this young general.
You must know that this kind of thing is top secret, and no news can be leaked, and no one else can know about it.
Hou Chengzu was able to participate because of his outstanding performance during the Southern Expedition, and because he was the leader of the naval battalion that was about to participate in this mission. But if you bring someone here, it would be a bit unruly.
Feng Ziying knew that Hou Chengzu was not a person who did not understand the rules, so he did not speak and only waited for Hou Chengzu to explain.
Feng Ziying didn't say anything, and Yang Lian and Sun Dingxiang couldn't say anything either. However, Zhao Wenzhao, as a member of Long Jinwei, knew the origin of this young man.
Hou Chengzu also knew that no one had the intention to speak, so he quickly introduced them.
As soon as Hou Chengzu's words came out, Sun Dingxiang understood it first, squinted his eyes, stroking his beard and asked: "A civilized son?"
Wenming is the name of Qi Changguo, and Qi Changguo is the new admiral of the Fujian Navy, which is equivalent to the deputy of the admiral of the Fujian Navy. That's all. Qi Changguo is the third son of Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang was not affected by the Zhou Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty. He also shined in the Anti-Japanese War and became a famous anti-Japanese general. However, when Feng Ziying came forward, Qi Jiguang had already passed away for more than ten years, but several of his sons were still active. Among the Haijiang Army, the third son Qi Changguo is the most famous one.
The young military general knew the rules quite well. He stood up and saluted with his fists clasped, "Xianzong has met you all."
Hearing that he was Qi Changguo's son and Qi Jiguang's grandson, everyone's expressions softened. Qi Jiguang's reputation was still shocking. Whether they were civil servants or military generals, they all still respected the real heroes. This was also true of the civil servants of the Zhou Dynasty. There is also some kindness.
I have read "New Performance Book" and "Records of Military Training" several times and benefited a lot from them. It is a pity that I was born decades later and could not work with Qi Shaobao. "Feng Ziying was also slightly moved. Qi Changguo was just that, but Qi Jiguang was a hero worthy of respect.
“Thank you for your compliments, Lord Minister. Xianzong will live up to the glory of his ancestors and fight with all his strength to kill the enemy.” Qi Xianzong was obviously also a military officer who was not very good at words.
It was Hou Chengzu who continued: "I have been in the Fujian Navy for several years and I am very familiar with the Yangtze River Estuary and even Chenqian Mountain and Daqu Mountain. Based on the information obtained by Mr. Feng, we suspect that the Tang family colluded with the so-called Japanese pirates." Or the pirates' lair should be among the islands of Chenqian Mountain and Daqu Mountain. It is highly suspected that there is an island on the three islands in the middle of Chenqian Mountain, Yangshan and Daqu Mountain. They had set foot there before, but they were not aware of it at the time, so they did not investigate carefully..."
Everyone knows that there are many islands in Chenqianshan, Yangshan, Daqushan and Daishan. Most of them are uninhabited islands, and some are inhabited. However, a considerable number of them are temporary residences of fishermen. Islands are often abandoned, so basically not many people pay attention to that area, especially those islands that are not large enough to cultivate and grow crops.
Outsiders are even more blind to that area and cannot understand what is going on inside.
This Qi Xianzong was familiar with that area and became an excellent guide.
The focus of everyone's attention fell on Qi Xianzong. At this time, Qi Xianzong was less reserved. Probably because he was talking about his own job that he was good at, he was more relaxed. "My lords, please look, this is the Chenqian Mountain Islands. This area is The Majishan Islands, and here are the Yangshan Islands, and further south are the Daishan Islands.”
Qi Xianzong was very high-spirited at this time, "The Daishan Islands are unlikely because they are too close to the Dinghai Institute. The Jinshan Institute has always been at odds with the Dinghai Institute, but the relationship with the Zhapu Institute is relatively good... After our analysis, if If the Japanese pirates that the Tang family has colluded with or that are under the control of the Tang family want to choose a foothold in this sea area, the Yangshan Islands are the closest and most convenient, but because they are too close, they are more likely to attract attention and bring risks, so We estimate that the Yangshan Islands are suitable as a temporary foothold or a place to hand over stolen goods, but they are not suitable as a base because there are not many islands suitable for large numbers of people to live in the Yangshan Islands..."
Everyone nodded slightly. No one can guarantee whether this kind of thing will be exposed, so for safety reasons, they must not get too close to themselves.
"Then the only ones left are the Chenqianshan Islands, Majishan Islands and Daqushan Islands." Qi Xianzong was calm and orderly: "The conditions of the Daqushan Islands are also very good, and many islands are very Suitable, but they are close to Daishan. Daishan is a place where the guards of Dinghai Zhusuo often set foot. It is inevitable that Dinghai Zhusuo will encounter it one day, so this possibility is not high,..."
"The Chenqianshan Islands and Majishan Islands are very suitable for all kinds of noodles." Qi Xianzong's eyes were clear, and he obviously had a goal: "Majishan Island is the main island among the Majishan Islands. It has a large area and can accommodate one or two thousand people. In the early years of the former Ming Dynasty, there were nearly a thousand islanders. However, when the Ming Dynasty banned the sea and the islanders moved inward, it became deserted. If you want to choose it as a large base, this is the most suitable place, but having said that, because it is too large and the most eye-catching,..."
"From all aspects, the Chenqianshan Islands should be the most suitable, because they are located in the open sea, and the conditions of two islands are very suitable. They can house three to five hundred people, and they are far away from the land, but relatively close to the maritime merchant ship routes. It's close, so it's easy to attack,..."
"After our repeated screening and combined with the intelligence summary given by your Excellency, we can determine that this group of pirates uses the west island of Chenqianshan Islands as their main base for attack operations, and the southwest of Majishan Island The island above is called Changshan Island, which should be where they store supplies and live their daily lives, and Majishan Island is also an area where they often move."
Qi Xianzong finished explaining the situation in one breath, and then Hou Chengzu came to join him: "Based on this information, we also formulated an encirclement and suppression plan. According to Mr. Feng's opinion, the Tang family on land was handed over to the Liaodong Army, while Chen Qian Shanxi Island and Changshan Island will be handed over to our naval battalion."
Everyone has to have their own meal, and the credit cannot be given to one family, so this is a compromise based on the balance.
After all, the Denglai Navy belonged to the Denglai Army, so the conquest of the Tang family on land was left to Mao Wenlong's Liaodong Army.
To call this a military operation is a bit exaggerated. It is just a small and easy activity. The key is to get both people and property. This is the most important thing.
Long Jinwei had to guide the actions of these frontier troops. After all, they were not very familiar with this kind of action. As for the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they could share the credit if they followed the instructions and played a good supervisory role.
